Week 24 Review: The Last Hope

From Goodreads:
A stunning conclusion to the sci-fi romance duology by writing duo Krista & Becca Ritchie, The Last Hope is filled with twists and turns you'll never see coming.

Sacrifice all you have to survive. 

Imprisoned for weeks on an enemy starcraft, Franny, Court, and Mykal have sat with an unfathomable revelation. They are human. But as they fight to stay alive, they're unsure of why or how they're different. Escaping prison means trusting a young mysterious stranger. He knows everything about their lost histories, but when answers aren't given freely, the bonded trio are forced to join a mission. One that will determine the fate of humanity.

Legend says, a baby—the first of her species—has the power to cloak and teleport planets. Tasked with retrieving the infant, Court is afraid the baby is just a myth, and if they fail, they'll never know the truth about their human origins.

As Court and Mykal grow closer, their linked bond becomes harder to hide, and dynamics change when Franny begins to fall for someone new. Vulnerable and with no choice, the hunt for the baby sends the trio on a dangerous path to Saltare-1: a water world where their enemies can't die and survival comes at a high cost. 

My Review:
This was a really fantastic read! After the ending of the previous book, I just wanted to know what the heck was going on, and this book definitely delivered, it is a duology, so things wrapped up fairly nicely in this book! Loved the story it told!

I loved how much the world was expanded upon in this book. We were given bits and pieces before, but they finally left the planet, and then had all those reveals. This book we got to visit another planet, learn about humanity's culture and history. Oh, and we found out why they were on the planet that they were on.

There was a lot going on in this book. The above new information, the characters relationships (loved that Franny got a love interest, and how important that turned out to be to the plot) as well as the question to find the infant who holds so much power to help them.

But oh, man, that ending? When we found out how everything worked out? That was just fantastic, a little heartbreaking, but totally worth the time invested to go on this journey. I loved where it ended, for the characters to have that peace! 

This was a really fantastic read, and I can't wait to see what Krista and Becca Ritchie come up with next, separately or together!
